Choosing the right grassland fertiliser, can be a tough decision. There are many factors to consider including accuracy, efficiency and yield response. As dairy and arable farmers look to become more sustainable<\/a>, and reduce carbon footprint, maximising efficiency from product applied will be key.<\/p>\n

Grassland Fertiliser Efficiency Trials<\/strong><\/h5>\n

In this independent trial, comparisons were made between granular and liquid fertiliser, specifically looking at how using liquid fertiliser results in less nitrogen being required to produce a similar growth pattern compared to using higher rates of granular fertiliser.<\/p>\n

In this trial 26% less liquid nitrogen fertiliser was applied in comparison to granular nitrogen fertiliser. 25kg\/ha N from OMEX Nitroflo<\/a> was applied v 33.25 kg\/ha of granular product.<\/p>\n
